SIG2DOT(1)

✨ SIG2DOT ✨

okay so this is the manual page for sig2dot, a lil general-commands-manual icon 💅 she lives in section 1, and she's about to make your GPG keyring look so cute as a graph.

🎀 NAME 🎀

sig2dot — creates a .dot file from a GPG signature listing. that's it, that's the girl 🌸

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

sig2dot [OPTIONS] < input-file > output-file

like she reads from stdin and writes to stdout, classic main character behaviour 👑

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This manual page documents briefly the sig2dot command. lowkey that's the whole job description but here's the tea:

sig2dot parses the output of gpg --list-sigs and produces a .dot file that can be used as input to a graphing program. so you feed her your sigs, she hands you graph fuel. it's giving pipeline royalty ✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

sig2dot accepts the following options, bestie, and yes we're going through all of them:

• -b — Black and white / do not colorize. no color, no ✨, we're going monochrome, it's a mood.
• -d <date> — Render graph as it appeared on <date> (ignores more recent signatures). Date must be in the format "YYYY-MM-DD". Will also ignore keys that have since been revoked. it's a lil time machine 🕰️
• -s <html-file-name> — Produces a sory HTML statistics file with the number of signatures per node. numbers girlies rise 🍓
• -a — Graph all keys, even if they do not have a signature. no key left behind, we're inclusive 💜
• -r <key-revoked-string> — Sets the text for the key-revoked string used by GnuPG. The default is what is used in the English version. This parameter can be set for versions of GnuPG localized to other languages. Default: "[revoked". (yes that's the exact default, including the lil unfinished bracket, don't @ me, it's canon)
• -t <title> — Sets the title for the graph generated. Default: "Keyring Statistics".
• -u <user-not-found-string> — Sets the text for the user-not-found string used by GnuPG. The default is what is used in the English version. This parameter can be set for versions of GnuPG localized to other languages. Default: "[user id not found]".
• -q — Be quiet. 🤫 not a peep.
• -h — Print help and exit.
• -v — Print version and exit.

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

here's the whole glow-up pipeline, copy it exactly bestie:

gpg --list-sigs | sig2dot > sigs.dot
springgraph < sigs.dot > sigs.png
